The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice has formally charged former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, for their alleged involvement in corruption-related offences.
Additionally, Dr. Dominic Ayine has charged two others, Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions Limited.
Angela Adjei Boateng is one of three directors of Advantage Solutions Limited, the sole shareholder of BNC Communications Bureau Limited, while Mildred Donkor is a former bank relationship officer for Adu-Boahene, his wife, and BNC Communications Bureau Limited.
They are facing 11 counts of offences, including stealing, money laundering, defrauding by false pretenses, and willfully causing financial loss.
These charges were contained in a writ filed at the Accra High Court on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
The embattled former Director-General is accused of signing a deal with an Israeli company, ISC Holdings Limited, to purchase cyber defense software for $7 million.
In total, he allegedly transferred approximately GHS 49 million (around $7 million) from the NSB’s funds into his personal accounts, falsely justifying these transactions as payments for the cyber defense systems, along with his accomplices.
“Further investigations have revealed that no cybersecurity system of the description in the January 30, 2020, contract was ever received by the Bureau of National Communication, its successor agency the National Signals Bureau, or by the Government of Ghana,” portions of the court documents read.
The couple created BNC while Mr. Adu-Boahene was still the NSB boss, and the company was used for the transaction of the security system purchased from the Israeli firm ISC Holdings Limited.
While an initial payment of GHS 9.5 million (about $1.75 million) was transferred to ISC Holdings, no further payments were made to the company.
The court documents allege that Adu-Boahene, his wife, and Mildred “therefore ran an elaborate criminal enterprise using A4 (Advantage Solutions Limited) as a holding company through which the stolen funds were funneled and laundered for their own benefit.”
